Potty-training for kitties

Has anyone watched that movie "Meet the Fockers" with Ben Stiller? In the movie, the family cat, Mr. Jinx, is able to use the toilet and flush. Mr. Jinx also ends up flushing the family dog, Moses, down the toilet.

I thought this was an anomaly, but I hear that some people actually train their cats to use the toilet instead of the litterbox.

Bad idea?

Pam Johnson-Bennett thinks so. She's an author and animal behavioral consultant. I came across her Yahoo blog post today, in which she cites several reasons why it's a no-no.

Yeah, I think it'd be pretty traumatic to fall into a toilet.
